Muralism

From state propaganda to folklore, muralism in the urban setting has enjoyed a varied history. Its monumental scale and commanding use of public space makes it a powerful tool for communication, and as such it has long been used to relay social and political messages to the public through visual narratives. Since the advent of graffiti and Street Art new types of muralism have emerged: Unsolicited Street Art murals are found in prime locations and abandoned buildings throughout the city and require fast application. Artists use a variety of tools like brushes, spray cans, roller paint, and stencils.
